Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas family and friends. We hope you are enjoying this special time of year. For those wondering, we are going to be a little late sending our Christmas letter. We wanted to make sure the house purchase is nearly finalized before sending out our future address.



We began the "present tearing" as Emerald calls it, this weekend with Steph's parents. They drove up and delivered their sleigh full of goodies. Both kids were thrilled by their "haul". Emerald woke up the next morning telling us to "go to the grocery store and buy more presents" so she could tear into them. Too cute. We had a good time with Grandma and Grandpa watching the ice and snow fall. We showed them our new house, and visited Crown Center and Union Station. What a beautiful place at Christmas!
We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Aunt Laura & Uncle Shane who are flying in from Colorado to arrive here tomorrow. It should be an exciting day tomorrow--Santa should deliver his gift(s), Laney is coming to visit, along with Nana, Pop Pop, Aunt Heidi, & Uncle Jeff. Of course Emerald thinks the dogs, Zane, Laney, and Maggie, will be eating and opening presents with us. I have feeling we will need that nice, big garage for all the presents that are heading this way. :) It is always nice to get the chance to see our family, especially now that we are close to them all.


We wish you many Christmas blessing. Join us tomorrow in singing Happy Birthday to Jesus. We'd like to add a special Christmas blessing to the 2 wonderful birthmothers who gave life to our precious angels, Josephine & Leticia. Without their sacrifice we wouldn't have our most important gift of Christmas--our sweet children.

Merry Christmas to all!
